After seeing several comments about the City of Sarasota EAR -"City staff have completed a first draft of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report, which will be discussed by the Planning Board and City Commission at workshops in February and March 2005 and again at public hearings in June, July, and October 2005." I thought it time to personally review some of the changes to these documents. This is not fun reading but there are nuggets you need to be aware of. ..... for my neighborhood there is discussion of US 41 / Tuttle and we should be adding Webber street... my previous post was an example of what is discussed.

"The Center for Digital Government and the National League of Cities (NLC) developed the survey this past summer and invited more than 600 city mayors, managers and chief information officers to participate. The survey grouped cities into four population categories: 250,000 or greater, 125,000-249,999, 75,000-124,999, and 30,000-74,999. Officials responded to a set of 24 questions and ranked their jurisdictions according to a four-point scale, providing Web site addresses and background data for final verification and validation."
